ISU has hands full with Univ San Diego

[DblT81]

San Diego Toreros, West Coast Conf, Record 8-3 RPI Rank 152 SOS Rank 272 lead ISU by 12 with about 9 minutes left in the game.

Sounds like ISU is getting mugged but not getting any calls.

USD is shooting lights out. Even their announcers are shocked.

Is this the team that upset OU last year? Is Shelly Sheets, from Colorado, the head coach of USD or an assistant? The radio guy keeps mentioning Shelly Sheets referring to the USD bench.

When the score was 53-38, USD, Fennelly calls timeout and the Cyclones are coming back with a vengence. Now 53-50.

He must have said something good.


With 2- min left:
Now the fouls starting to mount for USD, as the Cyclones pull ahead by 4.

With 33 secs left USD hits a long 3 to tie it, ISU can't convert on their last possession so they go to overtime.

---------
Re OU, they just said on the broadcast that USD took OU to overtime but lost that game.

---------

ISU wins by 2 in overtime. Phew! Close call.

From the San Diego website:

Sheetz is an assistant at San Diego. She's been mentioned a lot because she went to high school in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

ISU did NOT deserve to win this game. The Cyclones had 29(!) turnovers, yet found some way to win. ISU was down 15 with about 9 minutes left and Welle with 4 fouls. ISU ran off 16 straight to take the lead and the game was close until the end, although ISU was never down by more than 1 the rest of the way (if I remember right.) Welle played all 14 remaining minutes without fouling.

I would now like to forget this game. I was extremely happy with the way they came back, but other than that it was a horrible game. I'm still not sure how ISU pulled it out.

Small footnote:

Angie Welle tonight broke Megan Taylor's short-lived career rebounding record at ISU. Barring injury, she will break Megan's scoring record later this season.

Direct, verbatim quote from Coach Fennelly two minutes ago on the post-game show:

"We didn't deserve to win the game."

As mred said . . .

I remember that game last year and wondered what the heck had happened to the girls in Crimson and Cream.........

OU actually won in "double overtime" 65-63. And I don't think their RPI was as good last year as this year.
